The course is taught in English and is free of charge. Upon completion of the course, you can receive an e-certificate from Coursera. Linear Circuits 1: DC Analysis is taught by Dr. Bonnie H. Ferri, Dr. Joyelle Harris and Dr Mary Ann Weitnauer.

Overview
  • This course explains how to analyze circuits that have direct current (DC) current or voltage sources. A DC source is one that is constant. Circuits with resistors, capacitors, and inductors are covered, both analytically and experimentally. Some practical applications in sensors are demonstrated.

Syllabus
    • Module 1: Introduction
      • This module reviews background material from physics on the basic properties of electricity and electrical circuits.
    • Module 2
      • The module describes some basic principles used in circuit analysis.
    • Module 3
      • This module demonstrates physical resistive circuits and introduces several systematic ways to solve circuit problems.
    • Module 4
      • This module introduces additional methods for analyzing circuit problems and how resistors are used in sensors.
    • Module 5
      • This module introduces capacitors and inductors, which are called "reactive" circuit elements.
    • Module 6
      • This module introduces the transient response behavior of RC and RL circuits after a switch in a circuit is changed.
    • Module 7
      • This module demonstrates useful applications of capacitors and inductors in real engineering systems and introduces the behavior of second-order reactive circuits.
